Cosmo the Cougar stopped by the Capitol today, which is always a good sign it’s going to be a fun day.
BYU Day on the Hill was a great reminder of how much our universities contribute to Utah, not just through education, but through research, innovation, and workforce development that strengthens our communities across the state.
As a BYU alum (both undergrad and law school), I’m grateful for the opportunities BYU gave me, and I’m proud to support higher education as it continues to open doors for students and help Utah thrive.
Today I had the honor of welcoming a Ukrainian delegation from Novovorontsovka to the Utah Capitol and recognizing them with a citation in both the House and Senate.
These local leaders continued serving their communities during and after Russian occupation, under conditions most of us can hardly imagine. Even in the midst of war, they have worked to keep essential services running, restore infrastructure, and help their people rebuild.
Their resilience and courage are inspiring. It was a privilege to meet them, hear their stories firsthand, and recognize their extraordinary dedication to their country and their people.
A special thank you to Josh Chandler, West Jordan City Attorney, for organizing their visit to Utah and helping make this meaningful opportunity possible.

Great day on the Hill, my sister Erin spent her Teacher Health and Wellness Day with me at the Capitol. I loved having her here today and getting to spend a little time together.

Today was an important step forward for my bill, HB214, Firearm Liability Amendments. I’m pleased to report that it passed the House and is now headed to the Senate.
This bill is based on a common sense idea that was brought to me by a constituent in South Jordan. Firearm manufacturers should not be held legally responsible for crimes committed by third parties. At the same time, the bill preserves accountability by still allowing lawsuits in cases involving negligence, fraud, recklessness, or intentional misconduct.
I appreciated the thoughtful discussion on the House floor today, and I’m grateful for my colleagues’ support as this bill moves forward.

Utah’s teachers are some of the best in the country, but they are being asked to do the impossible with some of the largest class sizes in the nation. Over and over, educators tell me the same thing: large class sizes are one of the biggest challenges they face every day.
Utah can’t continue to lead the nation in student outcomes while also leading the nation in overcrowded classrooms.
That’s why I’m sponsoring HB418, a significant state investment to class sizes over time and better support students and teachers across Utah. This bill is the start of an important discussion about what it will take to make meaningful progress.
Opinion: It's time for Utah to reduce classroom sizes

Great night hosting my Family Night on the Hill at the Capitol!
I love bringing constituents up to the Capitol during the session to tour the building, talk through how the legislative process really works, and hear directly from families about the issues that matter most to them.
Thank you to everyone who joined me tonight. I truly appreciate the thoughtful questions, the great conversations, and the chance to connect in person at Utah’s beautiful State Capitol.
